But I do know that it cost the taxpayers tens of billion over the life of it and that that was damn tragic.............Marcus, this is probably the most bipartisan scam in U.S. history.

We should not be using food crops to produce energy, nor should the government subsidize ANY energy production...Even if these guys fingers are in the cookie jar, I'm not sure it will change anythingMarcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17222586066242314241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327826536005692170.post-76827499279342027202013-03-25T04:44:57.286-07:002013-03-25T04:44:57.286-07:00I'd be curious on your take on the civil liber...I'd be curious on your take on the civil liberties related discussion at Leticia's blog:<br /><br /><a href="http://leticiasworld.blogspot.com/2013/03/federal-government-preparing-for-war.html" rel="nofollow">http://leticiasworld.blogspot.com/2013/03/federal-government-preparing-for-war.html</a><br /><br />As in, what does the small-L libertarian in you think of turning Federal agencies into paramilitaries.<br />-----------<br /><br />Sorry it's off topic.
